Pirate: It’s not a phantom beast, it’s a phantom god!

Chapter 80 Death and Revenge (Part 1)

As for the navy, they also suffered from this sudden encounter.

One of the two newly repaired warships was directly scrapped, and the other was just barely floating on the sea. Perhaps a slightly larger wave could directly break it apart.

Zephyr and Garp were sitting on a wooden box on the deck while a medic was bandaging their wounds.

Other medical soldiers could be seen running back and forth in the rear, and some soldiers with minor injuries were also pulled along to help transfer the critically injured.

For a moment, the sounds of footsteps, wailing, and shouting filled the entire deck.

"Bogart, what are our casualties like?"

Garp no longer had his usual smile on his face. He sent away the medic who had treated the wound and asked about the adjutant's current condition.

"Reporting to Lieutenant General Garp, we have a total of 42 killed and missing, including two lieutenants. 75 are seriously injured, and 120 are slightly injured."

"Alas, we lost nearly one-fifth of our personnel... these were the elite of the Marine Headquarters."

Zefa sighed deeply, his words filled with obvious sadness, but he forced himself to be strong.

"Under the current circumstances, it's impossible for us to return to headquarters on our own. We must quickly contact the nearby G5 branch and ask them to send a warship and a ship doctor."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid those seriously injured soldiers won't be able to hold on for long."

"Humph! I don't know what's wrong with that Golden Lion."

"Before, he was like a fly that flew away without being touched twice, but this time he turned into a mad dog that wouldn't let go once he bit me."

Garp's face also looked unhappy. This was almost the most serious loss suffered by the navy since the Valley of the Gods incident.

"This is indeed suspicious."

Although it was just Garp's angry words, Zephyr still didn't intend to ignore the Golden Lion's abnormal behavior.

"Although Golden Lion is arrogant, he rarely leads the entire Flying Pirates to fight us like he did today.

And this time he doesn't even have any affiliated pirate groups around him..."

Garp picked up a bag of senbei he bought on the island and opened it, eating it while responding, with anger in his tone.

"Who knows why he suddenly went crazy? Maybe he suffered a great loss on Beehive Island and is in a bad mood."

"Pfft! Damn, this senbei is soaked in water too!"

At this moment, Bogart, who had been standing aside, suddenly spoke:

"Could it be that their target isn't us at all, but that unknown pirate ship?"

"Ok?"

"An unknown pirate ship..."

"Are you talking about the one we saw at that time?" After being reminded of this, Zefa also remembered it.

"Well, judging from the direction the Golden Lion was heading, it seems their target was that pirate ship."

Following Bogart's words, Zefa began to recall the scene at that time.

They were sailing normally at that time, when suddenly the Golden Lion fleet descended from the clouds in front.

The other party seemed very surprised to see him, but without much hesitation, the Golden Lion's flagship led all the ships to turn around almost immediately and rushed towards this side.

Then there was a brutal fight...

[etc! ]
[Not all!]
Zefa suddenly remembered a small detail before the battle between the two sides.

[At that time, it seemed that two ships were separated from the end of the Golden Lion's fleet.]
Because they were blocked by the many ships of the Flying Pirates in front, Zephyr couldn't see where the two ships were going.
Now it seems that we should chase that unknown pirate ship.

"Garp, what do you think is on that ship that could make that Golden Lion fight so hard this time?"

"Who knows, maybe it's some rare devil fruit."

"That old captain of his also likes to collect devil fruits."

Back then, the Rocks Pirates did collect devil fruits crazily on the sea, and later even spared no one with special abilities. This incident caused panic among the people at the time.

"But Shiqi probably doesn't have this habit..."

"Hey! Do you think it might be related to Rocks' treasure?
Didn't he attack Beehive Island earlier? Now he's suddenly chasing that strange pirate ship. Perhaps there's a clue to the treasure on board?"

Zefa suddenly stood up, as if he had discovered the truth.

"Maybe, who knows." "Maybe John ran onto that ship."

Karp made a joke upon hearing this.

"By the way, where's the ship?"

"I don't know," Bogart replied.

“Don’t know?!”*2
“Well, because of the Golden Lion’s sudden attack, we stopped paying attention to that ship.

By the time the Golden Lions retreated, there was no trace of the ship left."

"hateful!"

Zefa was a little unwilling.

"Okay, Zephyr."

"We had no time to take care of anything else at the time, and even if we could find the ship now, we wouldn't be able to pursue it."

"Let's report this matter to headquarters first and let them handle it."

"Okay... I hope that guy's treasure doesn't end up in the hands of Golden Lion.

That guy is not someone who will stay in the New World quietly for the rest of his life."

"I hope so~"

Garp nodded in agreement.

"Have you contacted the G5 branch? Is the Den Den Mushi still unconscious?"

"Report, the Den Den Mushi has woken up and is calling..."

……

At the edge of the doldrums, Albiliff Island—

"Captain John! What are you doing!"

A pirate shouted, the scene before him was totally unacceptable to him.

John did not answer, but pulled the sword out of Ful's chest, then swung it again, cutting off the pirate's head.

The pirates around were all furious when they saw this scene. Some pirates wanted to step forward but were held back by the people next to them.

"Captain John, why...why are you..."

Fall asked weakly as he fell to the ground.

He wasn't dead yet, but he was breathing in but not out.

"Fuhehe~ For, it was you who brought Shiqi here, right?"

John asked as he wiped the blood off the knife with a silk handkerchief.

"I...I didn't..."

Hearing this, Fore opened his eyes wide and tried desperately to say something.

"There's no point in denying it. That Shiki guy was clearly coming for me yesterday."

"Hey~Foul, how did he know I wasn't dead, and how did he find my location in such a short time?

Hehe~ You and Babu are the only ones who know that I am not dead. Who do you think betrayed me?"

"No...not me..."

With his last breath, Fall tried to prove his innocence.

"Really? That's a shame~"

The cold words came out of John's mouth.

He loosened his hand, and the handkerchief stained with a glaring blood color fell on Forle's face, blocking his vision.

"But it doesn't matter, Faure. I never trusted you anyway."

Under the snow-white handkerchief, Fore could no longer hear John's voice. His pupils gradually became dilated and his consciousness gradually blurred...
